Code Enforcement Update

I checked with the town office and here is the basic status:

A code enforcer was hired in July to spend 2 to 4 hours a week on the job. It has been determined that our codes are not enforceable as they are currently written. Some legal issues I guess. So the town is in the process of rewriting the codes so they will be enforceable. There is no firm schedule to complete the update.

Codes cover a wide range of subjects from activities in public areas to care for private property. The focus/priority when enforcement kicks in will be on public area subjects such as street parking, curfew, etc and not so much focus on private property issues such as lawn care. Codes will still exist for private property but just don't expect the enforcer to take care of it on his own.

Since the codes are being rewritten it looks like an opportunity to get involved with the commissioners and change things. For example, I would like to replace my lawn mower with a couple goats but livestock has been prohibited since 1992.
